Droz, I just found this thread - the advice from Thiel owners is spot on. I drive 3.6's with Mcintosh 501 mono's. My final choice was between the Mac's and CJ 350 which btw, is a superb amp. I felt the Mac's were better, more control in the bass for sure and more tonally accurate and pleasing through the midrange. Both have great top end extension. I wanted the CJ to work since I have been using CJ preamps for many years.
I can tell you the difference between my former amp, Classe CA 200 and the Mcintosh mono's is night and day. Thiels are just a different speaker when driven with adequate solid state power.
